In the past we used google doc, problem with this i had to manually check everyday when people didn't post, go look up their post, see which day it was then compared it to the google doc, in the end it was taking way to much time.

And since i had to check it manually there was a limit to how many people i could allow into the challenge, now with the 100day challenge site, it will check automatically , all you need to do is go there once a day when your about to post, press one button and it will send you to the ca thread, since i don't haft to manually look up things there is no limit to how many people can join, and the demand has been big that's why we'r using an external site for this challenge to keep things in order,

No tumblr for this challenge, it was only in case of emergency such as if ca would go down ( which happened more then once in the past ) but we figured in case Ca dose go down this time, you can just upload your image to imgur(or something similar) and put it in your comment on the other site, always good to have a backup plan!

Hey Snatti, unfortunately I made a mistake and sign in for a challenge with a wrong username, ( I have made a note on the website), should I sign in again or username can be somehow changed, wanted to take a part in this challenge, will that be a problem, if it will how can I correct it?

Hi lorehly, if you could sign up again with a new email and with the right user name that would be great!, since currently we'r don't have a feature to allows you to change your name on the site, it's just so we can keep better track of who is taking part in the challenge.

If you finish a piece faster than 10 days, you may allocate your remaining days to another piece. However, we suggest to try and aim at completing 1 piece per 10 day period. This will help you learn and develop your time management.

Register for http://www.100dayartchallenge.com/ . This is where we will track your participation. The website will help the admin keep track of those participating and keeping up with the challenge. Please register with the same username as your CA account.

What do I get out of this challenge? - Sorry, there are no “prizes” per say, but, you will get the satisfaction of having 10 awesome finished new pieces of art to add to your works. This challenge will be a great way to try new techniques without the pressure. You will get better, your skill level will go up, and you’ll have a great opportunity to get to know other people in the community.

Post Expectations:In your very first post we would love to hear about your goals for this 100 day challenge. What would you like to accomplish throughout these next 100 days (Long term goals)?
“I would love to develop/improve/learn…”

In your everyday updates, include:

At least 30 minutes of work.

Goals for each work time frame. “For the next 10 days I would like to...” (short term goals)

Briefs for Magic Cards - This is a great way to practice working with a brief. Pick an existing magic card by pressing random, and use the description to paint your own version without looking at the current artwork for it.

Does each final project have to be a single image, or can it be a page of a comic with say 6 panels? I'm working on a comic atm so it would be ideal to produce 10 pages in the 100 days, but I understand if this challenge is more specifically geared towards producing stand-alone images rather than a comic page.

We discussed it and YES! You can do this! I think it sounds like a lot of work, and a great idea!

Once the challenge starts the button on the site where it currently says [watch challenge on ca.org]
will turn into a green button saying [Post] so each day you just need to press that button when your ready to post, and it automatically update your day complete on the 100days site ( works a check up thing to make sure we can keep track of everyone ) and then it will direct you to the ca thread where you should post your work for everyone to see.

The Following User Says Thank You to Loann For This Useful Post:

Does the 30 min daily post have to be related to our final piece at the end of every 10 days?

Or like, say we are drawing figures even though my main goal is to make a finished piece on a background using perspective but figures were my practice work but the BG is my finished piece. In this way, the practice and finished pieces are unrelated. So can the posting be like that as well?

And also, do our final pieces have to be full color render images or will monochrome or just plain lineart style works will do?

Good question!
Yes your 30 minute daily posts need to be related to your final 10 day piece. For instance, let's say that I want to create me as a character. i would practice probably figures, faces, hair, clothing etc.

If you are doing a BG then you should practice BG elements every day.

A finished work can by any that you mentioned. Everyone's finished work will be different depending on their artistic level.

Whenever we submit our daily quota of practice be it 30 mins or 2 hours everyday which aims towards our final piece in some way.
Can we post a copy of that practice in our sketchbooks too or is the practice that which gears towards this thread strictly meant for this thread and exclusive only. (Meaning we can't post that practice in our sketchbooks) ?

Just wondering. Sorry if I'm bugging you again.
I'm already fired up a lot lol and waiting eagerly for this to begin
